we’re so happy you’re here

our rehoming service

My Grandfather’s Cat provides a service to help seniors and terminally ill people arrange homes for their pets. Rather than housing animals in a foster system, we arrange for them to move directly from their home into a second forever home.

our pet pantry

our story

My Grandfather’s Cat was inspired by our founder’s experience adopting her grandfather’s cat, Mackenzie, when he passed away. Knowing the options were either to adopt her or take her to a shelter, she adopted her in December 2019.

After realizing many families go through a similar experience when their loved ones passes away, and many are not able to adopt the animal themselves, she launched My Grandfather’s Cat as a solution to this need on May 18, 2021, her grandfather’s birthday.
